Throughout the Old Testament, there are many scriptures that point to the coming of Jesus before the new testament was even written. We have the account for example in Isaiah 53 of the suffering Messiah, and in the Psalms of David(Psalm 110) where David talks about the Messiah as 'My Lord.' This points to the expected Messiah that was to come in the future New Testament times.
"The Lord said to my Lord" is a direct quote from Psalm 110:1 and is also quoted in the New Testament. In the psalm, "the Lord" refers to Yahweh, the covenant name of God, while "my Lord" refers to the Messiah, whom David acknowledges as his superior. This phrase highlights the Messiah's authority and preeminence, a key point in Christological interpretations of the Old Testament.

Yes, Gill. I was delving into this last week. Many Jewish scholars referred to the two Lords in the Bible. It goes way back to Gen 1 when God said, "Let us make man in our image." Fascinating!
In First Corinthians 15:4 we read, "Then the end will come, when He( Jesus) hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power."
